Stuck at 64kg

Hello Mumsnetters!

I am currently the fittest (or most active?) I have ever been, running 40km per week, strength and conditioning classes 3 times per week (introduced this over the last 3 weeks), gym weight sessions by myself, and always hitting 10K steps per day.

My problem is that currently, I am 4kg heavier than ideal. I gained 4kg from November until after xmas (ugh) due to overindulgence. I am finding myself more hungry the more I run, and craving carbs and sugar pretty much all day everyday. I meal prep my meals for work and endure there looks like there is 'enough' protein in them to keep my full, but I am finding although I am the most active I have I've ever been, I am gaining weight, which is making running slightly harder than it could be. My clothes are getting tighter constantly.

60kg is my ideal weight where clothes fit the best and running is easier.

Tips / reflections / shared experiences welcome.

Hello, pretty similar here. Running 40-50 km a week, plus bits of swimming, yoga here and there. Weight slowly drifting up and currently around 60kg. I felt much better and was faster when I was at 56-57kg a few years back.
I do intermittent fasting (although not that strictly), quite often do time restricted eating as well.
However, I also have a weakness for chocolate...
Sadly I think getting older means I just can't eat as much as I think I can (or used to be able to!).

This is me. Without the running. But Im trying to make myself walk everyday and Im just so hungry, the active I am, I want to eat everything, its worse when Im cold, Im always cold. Ive had a gastric sleeve so cant eat that much but Im at risk of over doing it because Im craving so much sugar all the time.
